“The Hunger Games,” by Suzanne Collins, changed my life. The story follows a 16-year-old girl named Katniss on a journey that changes her forever. She lives in a post-apocalyptic world.

Every year, names are drawn and people are taken to the Capitol to prepare for the hunger games. The games consist of fighting to the death in an arena. Katniss, volunteering to save her sister’s life, begins training for the games.

The story follows her preparations and what happens when she is dropped into the arena for the games.

If you want to find out what happens, you’ll have to read the book.

This book made me appreciate what’s really important in life. Suzanne Collins is an excellent writer.

“The Hunger Games” is the first book in a trilogy. The second book is “Catching Fire” and the third book, coming out Aug. 24, is “Mockingjay.”
